Where are the points located (hands and feet) for relieving an inguinal hernia?

While there may be points that can help with symptoms associated with a hernia, only surgery can correct a hernia itself. Talk to your doctor.
A hernia is not an adhesion or a soft tissue problem that can be treated through massage therapy.

The practice of reflexology involves manipulating various points on the feet and hands, which stimulates your nervous system. This should relax you, ease pain, increase blood flow through your body and improve the function of internal organs.
An inguinal hernia often causes pain, making reflexology a good option to help you control discomfort while you await surgery and while you recover from it.

I am not sure that acupressure/reflexology will be effective for your condition. But if you want to try it for symptom maintenance, the reflexes are on the heel of the foot and the heel of the hand.
Some people say exercise can strengthen the abdominal wall, but typically surgery is the only reliable treatment for an inguinal hernia.

I recommend you go to a licensed acupuncturist and have them treat you using acupuncture with small needles. There are many different points and combinations your licensed acupuncturist can use.
Acupressure (which does not require needles) has been shown to work effectively as well. Avoid ice-cold drinks and food.

Reflexologists will target points associated with your groin, colon and adrenal gland to prevent an inguinal hernia or keep it from getting worse.
A refloxologist will manipulate areas near the thumb, the area directly above the wrist on the top of the hand and a thin area near the wrist on the palm. On the feet, pressure points include the top of the foot and the area an inch below the big toe.

In reflexology, there are points of reference to various parts of the body. Pressing on these points will help ease congestion and balance blood flow to the area.
The points of reference for inguinal hernia in the hands are on the outer wrist on the radial side of your your hand.
Press on the lower thumb, going up towards your arm 3 times and down back to the lower thumb. Do this for about 2 minutes or as needed. Use light but firm pressure.
The points of reference for inguinal hernia in the foot are
on the dorsal side of the foot, which is the top of your foot where it meets the ankle.
Use light but firm finger or thumb pressure across the top of the ankle for 2 to 3 minutes or as needed.
These points will help with balance. Always consult your doctors for proper diagnoses.

reflexology may be able to alleviate any pain you feel and make you more comfortable as you control the condition. Don't use reflexology to treat your inguinal hernia without your doctor's approval. When choosing a reflexologist, look for someone who is licensed and has experience using reflexology for inguinal hernias. Your doctor may be able to give you a referral

To relieve the pain of inguinal hernia, I would work on the inside of your heel just below the ankle bone. On the hand, you could try working on the pad of the thumb.
This may relieve some of your discomfort, but it will not fix the herniation.
